[The blurb and the story take an unexpected turn. The shou isn't what he seems.]
System 069 diligently tapped the blackboard as it explained the job to its new partner.
System 069: “Look, people's thinking has become more independent these days. You can't make the romance plot in a mindless, angsty CEO novel add up anymore. The protagonist shou keeps running off with the male supporting characters, and every romance plot turns into a career plot. To keep a perfectly good, mindless CEO novel from turning into a shou protagonist's leveling-up story, you'll have to step in as the protagonist and get the plot back on track.”
Yun Ji: “...So what am I supposed to do?”
System 069: “Love the CEO, protect him, and accept him! No matter how he torments you, do your best to play the miserable protagonist shou. Once the CEO tortures you to death or kicks you out himself, your mission in that world will be over.”
Yun Ji thought, That sounds easy!
[The Kidney-Harvesting, Heartbreaking World]
The cold, handsome man glared at him and spat out merciless words: “You think you can compare to Qi Xiu? You're not worthy. Give Qi Xiu your kidney, and I'll marry you.”
Yun Ji dropped to his knees with a thud. “Boss, I'm begging you too. Take both my kidneys this time!”
That way, he could move on to the next world.
CEO: “...”
Seeing the CEO's expression, Yun Ji thought everything was going according to plan. But then the CEO raised an eyebrow and smiled coldly. “Heh. Interesting.”
His eyes held three parts coldness, three parts indifference, and four parts casual unconcern. “Man, you've successfully caught my attention.”
“...”
[Another World]
Yun Ji was chatting with a supporting character when the other suddenly fell to his knees and cried out in terror: “Yun Ji, please don't kill my and the CEO's little one!”
Before Yun Ji could react, the CEO appeared behind him, scooped up the supporting character from the ground, and glared at him with sinister eyes.
It was as if he was about to make Yun Ji pay!
The plot was finally starting, Yun Ji thought. He immediately pretended to panic and spoke to the CEO, though his body trembled with excitement. “A-Ba, please hear me out!”
But how could the CEO listen? He was supposed to throw Yun Ji out of the house.
Yun Ji could already see the villa he'd secretly bought beckoning to him. But then the CEO's grim gaze softened, and he nodded. “All right. Go ahead.”
Yun Ji: “...?!
What am I supposed to say? I didn't prepare a script for this part!!!”
After every plot point had passed, Yun Ji stared in a daze at the “CEO” in front of him, who was pinching his cheeks, rubbing his belly, and serving him dessert.
This plot... was NOTHING like he expected!!
Hehehe.
System 069: “Hmph.” Like I'd believe a word of that!
[Also known as I Wanted to Follow the Angsty Plot, but It Always Turned Sweet and I Just Wanted to Finish My Mission, but You Want to Date Me]
1. 1v1.
2. Happy ending in the main story, with both happy and bad endings in the smaller worlds. The gong's personalities vary, some good and some bad.
3. The shou only seems carefree and heartless.

Next novel: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character Breaks Character Every Day. Please add it to your collection!
[Blurb written on 2021/09/02]
Pei Xian was a streamer in the commentary niche. His greatest joy was live-streaming his rants about the ridiculous plot holes in novels and TV shows. Then one day, while he was streaming, an electrical fault caused an explosion at home. When Pei Xian groggily woke up, he discovered that he was bound to the Character-Breaking System XX1.
System XX1: “The world you're in was affected by a magnetic field, causing five worlds to overlap and merge: a campus love polygon, an angsty romance with an ex-lover's redemption, a cultivation and superpower world, a suspense and horror world, and a supernatural thriller. You are the male supporting character shared by all these merged worlds.”
Pei Xian: “.”
System XX1: “Before long, you will...
In the campus story, play the devoted, gentle rich young master as the second male lead, agree to the female lead's confession, and later get cruelly dumped;
In the entertainment-industry story, play a lovesick, second-tier celebrity, entrust your heart to the person you love, and be treated as a substitute;
In the cultivation and superpower story, become an obstacle to the protagonist and get face-slapped and beaten to a pulp;
In the supernatural thriller, accidentally wander into a haunted house and get dismembered by a demon as cannon fodder, the second male lead.
Only by breaking character can you save your life.”
Pei Xian, who now knew the script for his life in advance: “...I think I can still turn this around!”
So he began breaking character like crazy in every storyline.
Campus storyline
The sweet, innocent heroine, plain-looking but naturally likable, blushed and confessed to him.
Pei Xian: “Sorry, I'm not into women.”
Heroine: “!?!”
Entertainment storyline
The rich benefactor looked at the man's sexy, restrained face and slapped down a check. “Eighty million. Spend a year with me.”
Pei Xian: “Sorry, I'm not into men.”
Benefactor: “...?”
Pei Xian glanced down at him and said expressionlessly, “Besides, you're not as big as me.”
The benefactor was furious: “???”
Horror-thriller storyline
It started pouring while Pei Xian was live-streaming a hike. He looked up and saw a run-down, eerie little house in the woods. Its dilapidated wooden door, little more than a frame, creaked in the wind, while the pitch-black entrance looked like a bottomless abyss luring him inside.
Viewers: “That looks terrifying. Should we go in and check it out?”
Pei Xian stood still and unzipped his pants. “They say a virgin's urine wards off evil.”
The abyssal demon: “.” It slowly pulled its hand back.
Suspense and horror storyline
A reality show invited Pei Xian, already a top-tier star streamer in the country, to take part in a murder mystery game with live NPCs aboard a ship.
Pei Xian declined. “No, thanks. Confined spaces are where locked-room murders happen.”
Director: “...”
A reality show featuring live-action CS invited Pei Xian to join.
Pei Xian: “Thanks for the invitation, but I'll pass. There are so many people around the production crew. Someone could easily switch the blanks for live ammunition.”
Production crew: “.”
[High-Stakes Warning]
1. A seemingly ordinary gong with a hidden identity x a seemingly aloof but actually goofy, mischievous, and flirtatious shou
2. The author aims to write a lighthearted, healing bedtime read. There's no major plot.
3. Thanks for giving it a try. It may not be great, but please don't leave a bad review or I'll cry for you, sob sob sob!
Theme: Even if we meet at our lowest, we will treasure every moment we have together all the more
The ending really felt like a mess, and basically all the foreshadowing was used. It was quite disappointing. I hope the next one will be better.
The extras are better hahaha
"Rain" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
I forgot a lot hahahaha
I've forgotten the content of this book, but it doesn't affect me from watching the extras hahaha
A little sudden, but still good
The four worlds that were destroyed before were probably intentional, right?
I still hope that the ending can be patched up.
I really want to complain about a dragon being killed by a mortal with a dagger??? What about racial talents? What about cultivation? Was it eaten by a dog??? You can force it a little to keep the plot going, but don't take me for a fool, right?
It's unfinished. If the author has time, he can revise it. After all, the small world is so wonderful.
